Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.

GREATEST influence

My passion for postpartum is rooted in a childhood surrounded by maternal powerhouses—my mom and nana operated an in-home daycare, laying the foundation for my knack with the itty-bittiest of humans. Early experiences in nature-based preschools as an Early Childhood Educator (ECE) and as a Montessori support guide cultivated an appreciation for the enchanting world of child development, blending the wonders of nature with the Montessori approach to guide little minds on a journey of self-discovery, independence, and joyful learning.

Before my doula days and even before my time as a nanny, I was a photographer capturing the beauty of growing bellies and the delicate moments of newborns. Through the lens, I witnessed a deeper truth—I saw families struggling in raw and unfiltered light. Issues like body image concerns, feelings of unpreparedness and disarray, sleep deprivation, and identity shifts became glaringly evident. 

Together Through Postpartum: My Journey, Your Comfort, Our Connection.

but tori... what about you?

Families deserve to bask in the love and light of welcoming a new life, unburdened by challenges our ancestors had large communities for. Recognizing this, I achieved my Postpartum Doula Certification to guide families through the transformative postpartum journey, ensuring they receive holistic support that honors the beauty of this significant life transition. With a background in Human Development and Family Sciences and Education, my journey as a postpartum doula and photographer weaves together a wealth of knowledge, offering you a blend of care and expertise as we navigate your unique postpartum story.

Embarking on a transformative journey, I attained NASM certifications in Wellness Coaching and Sports Nutrition. My personal battle with feelings of worthlessness, depression, anxiety, and chronic health issues fueled my pursuit. Frustrated by conflicting online advice, I took control, embracing wellness coaching that changed my life. It wasn't just about reclaiming my health, but about the profound impact it had on me. In the depths of my struggles, I yearned for support and accountability, and once I found it, I felt compelled to pay it forward. I believe in making wellness accessible to everyone, especially new moms navigating the postpartum transition. Through my experience and knowledge, I'm committed to offering positive influences and empowering individuals to embrace a healthy and healed life.

I had such a great experience with Tori. My maternity album came out so beautiful and she made the whole process so comfortable for me! Tori truly is so wonderful. I recommend her to all of my girl friends havin' babies.

"I didn't think I wanted maternity pictures, my pregnancy was rough, but when I saw Tori's work, I knew I had to have them."

- John V

As a husband (and now dad), I wasn't sure about my wife's decision to hire a birth photographer. After I saw the photos of my son being born though, my mind is completely changed. What a gift!

"The birth was a whirlwind. One second she was pushing, then our baby was here. It was so fast."

- maryanne g

Tori has helped ease my mind so much. Her incredibly in-depth notes and "I got this" attitude has been life changing. We're all sleeping so much better and have less worry during the night.

"A friend suggested I hire Tori after having postpartum anxiety pretty bad with my second."
